In the state Senate and Mouse races, the tightest con
test occurred in the Democratic primary for the state
representative from District 41. David Dix barely edged

Majority office, will face Republican William Bain in

Ballot Measure No.5, which asked for a $96 million
state bond debt and additional county debts to establish
joint state-county prisons, was defeated with a 54 per
cent No vote. This surprised some election experts who
thought recent attention given to the shortage of |ail
space in the state may have helped the measure to pass.
The Lane County Tax Base Measure No.6 was
defeated as expected, and the other four State Ballot
Measures passed as predicted.

writ thinking about dropping out of school because
they would not lie able to afford to return next year." he

Kerlin said he was worried after the board failed to
reverstt its decision at last Friday's meeting
"We had expected the reversal about a week ago.
When it didn't happen., we decided to have another
GTF rally to keep the heat on the board." he said.
“My guess is that (University President Paul Olum)
was working very hard on Friday to reverse the deci
sion. and I understand he was disappointed when the
decision was not reversed.” kerlin said.
kerlin said many GTFs wore reluctant to obtain a
90-day emergency loan, approved May 8 by a state
legislative board.
"Not many people have taken out an emergency loan
because it was an inadequate solution. It would have to
be paid back during the summer when not many GTFs
art* earning enough to do so." he said.
Hunt said some GTFs told him they were concerned
that they would not be able to pay the loans back in 90
days because they were already in debt.
Fraternity con,inued from pa8e ,A
the Interfraternity Council. Austin says
"In certain ways, we differ greatly {from the 1C) in
the basic makeup.” Austin says. "We did not want to
be known as a 'beer bust’ fraternity.”
David Anthony, a University Afro-American
history profeasor, believes the heart of the racism pro
blem is still beating
"We can document racism,” Anthony says. “It is
not a thing of the past, though it has changed forms. It
is not us popular nor as acceptable, but that is not to say
that it doesn't exist. We can't deny it and expect it to go
away."
Anthony says he believes white fraternities are a
reflection of white culture
"It was only very recently that blacks have even
considered joining white fraternities." Anthony says.
"It's not comfortable for these men — they are essen
tially guinea pigs. To change, we need greater interac
tion, the opening of doors to these white fraternities for
blacks."
Anthony says he believes that historically, frater
nities and sororities have lieen extremely important for
l
many black people. Yet, he says he never wanted to be
part of a fraternity because of the vulnerability involved
during initiation.
"You never know how much you're going through
because you’re a pledge or because you're black.” he
says.
However. Mike (.angford, a black spring pledge at
t’hi Delta Theta, disagrees with Anthony.
"Kush is not tougher for blacks at all." I^ugford
says. "Everybody was pretty nice, and after I signed up.
I felt really comfortable."
Both Anthony and Austin believe that racism is
still alive and well, although it may take different
forms.
"Racism exists I don’t think anyone can challenge
that You lx*t it does Yes, you bet it does." Austin says,
leaning forward in his chair.
"But as opposed to racism being very blatant, now
it's very subtle." Austin adds. "That's why academics
art* so important It takes a very intelligent and
educated person to recognize subtle racism, and an
equally intelligent and educated person to overcome
it."
